Reliability is 100% till now. I've got 7 plugin modules working for a period of 3 months now and none of them has failed yet.
And it's fast...getting back a ACK from the module itself in something like 500 ms is one of the main advantages of PLCBUS i would say.
(a small snippet from my logs;the first number on every line is in milliseconds, so you see the time from the click of a button untill the ACK takes 516 ms)
